What's Your Favorite Adoption Movie?

After watching the trailer for the horror flick Orphan the other day, I thought about all the other adoption films that have graced the silver screen. First to come to mind? Annie, of course. Check out some of the other ones that show both bright and dark sides of the subject matter.Source

I agree with FredsMom. I loved the movie August Rush, but I am adoptive parent and didn't like how they did perpetuate the myth of holding out for their "real" parents. Annie was just like that. Whoever said Anne of Green Gables had a good suggestion.I have not seen Meet the Robinson's, but another adoptive parent told me not to let my child see it. I guess I need to watch it first to make sure it is suitable.

As an adoptive parent, I found August Rush to be really emotionally manipulative and cast a poor spin on adoption. It perpetuates a myth about why children are placed for adoption and that children should just hold out for their "real" parents to come and find them to complete their family.
